The Guggenheim Museum in New York City has an exhibit exploring a particular segment of art created during the early 20th Century. More than 100 pieces are included in “The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from the Guggenheim Collection, 1910–1918” on display until June 1, 2011. 
“When Vasily Kandinsky and Franz Marc formed Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) group in late 1911, the artists predicted a watershed in the arts, a große Umwälzung (great upheaval) that would radically challenge traditional artistic production. Undoubtedly, tremendous creativity and innovation characterized the years leading up to World War I, especially 1910–14.”
